Shorten the long landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,585 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,585 m of the 2,847 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Great job on your aircraft landing score of 94.7%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing and discuss how you can continue to improve.
In the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a strong understanding of the aircraft's position in relation to the correct descent path. This is crucial for a smooth and controlled landing. Keep up the good work in maintaining this precision.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, while your threshold height was slightly above the target, your landing flare was good. This shows that you have a good sense of timing and control when it comes to transitioning the aircraft from descent to touchdown. Focus on adjusting your threshold height to match the target more closely to further enhance your performance.
During the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was a little hard, but your speed was on target. It's important to aim for a smooth and gentle touchdown to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers on board. Work on refining your landing technique to achieve a softer touchdown in future flights.
Despite the hard touchdown, it's commendable that your touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was very good. This demonstrates your ability to accurately judge the touchdown point and maintain proper alignment with the runway. Keep practicing precision in these aspects to consistently deliver high-quality landings.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off, with a deviation of 4.3 meters from the centerline. Pay attention to maintaining a straight path during the rollout to ensure optimal control and stability as you decelerate and taxi off the runway.
Overall, your aircraft landing score reflects a solid performance with areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. Keep up the good work on maintaining excellent glideslope alignment, good landing flare, and accurate touchdown position. Focus on refining your techniques for a smoother touchdown and improved runway alignment to elevate your performance even further. With dedication and practice, you can continue to achieve impressive landing scores and excel in your flying skills. Well done!
